Overview

The kiwi fruit originated from Northern China and was initially known as a Chinese gooseberry. In the early 1900s, a school teacher from China visited New Zealand with some seeds to grow this furry brown fruit. The New Zealander’s then named the fruit after their national bird.

Underneath the furry brown outer layer, the kiwi fruit contains and soft, green colour flesh with many small black seeds. The entire fruit is edible, including the skin and seeds, but it is common for people to peel the skin and only eat the juicy green flesh. I eat the whole thing like a boss.

Below is a list of 7 kiwi fruit benefits.

7 Kiwi Fruit Benefits

1. Increases Immunity
2. Asthmatic Treatment
3. Assists Digestion
4. Blood Health
5. Sleep Inducer
6. Bone Health
7. Cancer Prevention

1. Increases Immunity

Kiwi fruits are loaded with vitamin C, which helps to improve your immune system.

2. Asthmatic Treatment

The vitamin C content, as well as the antioxidants provided within kiwi fruits, can help relieve asthma suffers from their symptoms. Regular consumption of kiwi fruits can also reduce wheezing in young children. Respiratory function, as a result, can also be enhanced by kiwi fruits.

3. Assists Digestion

Like many fruits, kiwis are also loaded with fibre which aids digestion and helps prevent constipation and loose stools. Kiwis also contain an enzyme called actinidin which can help break down proteins in the gut.  

4. Blood Health

The bio-active substances contained within kiwi fruits can help reduce overall blood pressure levels. Potassium, in particular, helps relax the blood vessels. Kiwi fruits can also help reduce the amount of fat in the blood and prevent blood clotting.

5. Sleep Inducer

Research suggests that two kiwis an hour before sleep can improve the quality of sleep, especially for those who may have sleeping disorders. This is likely due to the antioxidant and serotonin components found in kiwi fruits.

6. Bone Health

The Vitamin K, small amounts of calcium, collagen and phosphorous in kiwi fruits help improve overall bone health. Vitamin K, in particular, can also prevent osteoporosis, the weakening of bones in the body.

7. Cancer Prevention

Kiwis contain plenty of antioxidants and fibres, which both help prevent gut-related cancers. Antioxidants also repair DNA damage caused by free radicals, which if left unchecked, can lead to the development of cancer.

Conclusion

I like to eat a kiwi fruit each day after my midday meal. Skin and all. If you have trouble sleeping, you can consider eating them an hour or so before you sleep and see if that helps. Slicing them up to have as a dessert is also an option. At any rate, kiwi fruits have a lot to offer, and they taste great.
